mitt romney. i'm not so sure that that is a surprise. i think it depends on how independents look at it. if democrats, in particular, continue to make the argument about the positives in terms of pre-existing conditions, in terms of expanding coverage, et cetera, et cetera, i think we have a really good position i'm not sure republicans are going to find themselves in a position that they think they are down the road. >> the more money you have, chris, the more opportunities you have to get the money out to independents and the obama camp has not released fundraising figures since the ruling. do you think, chris, they are not revealing it because there's not that much money coming in? maybe it's pouring in and they don't want people to think that they don't need to give because they are already getting so much. what is going on there? >> the reason they are not releasing the number, whatever it might be, is because i think to the president and to democrats this wasn't about politics. this actually

. 58% of romney supporters say their report is more against obama than for romney. so does that mean that this election turns out to be a referendum on health care or the economy it's bad for the president? ? >> well, if it's a referendum on the economy, it's not going to be good for the president. he want this election to be about whether obama has done a good job handling the economy. and the polls show that americans are still disappointed on that front. they think he's tried hard, they like him, at certain points in the past year they feel better about the economy than other points. but generally they are not satisfied. obama wants this campaign to be a choice between romney, who people don't like much, and obama who they like more. so from the romney perspective, what works best is to have a nondescript gop stand-in which is nonobama. which is why you don't hear romney talking about policy details and going at obama in terms of what the real differences are here on policies. all of the polls show that americans are in a sour mood. they don't like the economy, h
